Help with editing flyers

03-21-2008, 02:49 PM

Hey guys,

How do i edit some of the flyer templates? I need to get a few done this weekend but i dont know exactly how. I downloaded Foxit and also OpenOffice but now what? Do i need some kind of different editing program? any advice would be appreciated&#33; thanks

You can use any kind of picture editing software (I have photoshop, but it&#39;s a little extreme) and just use the eraser tool to get rid of stuff you don&#39;t want (assuming it&#39;s on a white background) and fill it in with your own text.

If you want some help, you can give me the template and I will get rid of anything you don&#39;t want so you can fill it in with your own information.

So what basic program would u reccommend for me to use? And yeah that would be GREAT if you would erase the stuff i dont want.

Hmmm...I&#39;m not sure about the software. Microsoft paint would be the most basic, but it doesn&#39;t give you a ton of flexibility, maybe Steve has some advice on that?

The mower on the gas surcharge flyer turned out a little funny because I had to transfer the flyer into photoshop as a pdf file and it made some of the colours a little weird. I managed to fix everything with it, except the mower, since my skills aren&#39;t quite that good.

I&#39;ve saved one as a jpeg and the other as a gif, so you should be able to open the files with any type of photo software.

If you give me your e-mail, I&#39;ll send them to you, since the files seem to be too big to post up here.

I can&#39;t send it to that address because of the size of the attachments. I think it&#39;s probably because it&#39;s an e-mail address from your domain that doesn&#39;t have a ton of capacity. Do you have another address like a gmail or Yahoo I can send to?

I took the pdf and opened it in photoshop, which rasterized it. When it was rasterized though, it made the background transparent and a whole bunch of other stuff like the text and the mower became transparent too. Do you think it might work better in Adobe illustrator steve? That&#39;s vector based, right?
